- Shock as racist graffiti daubed on walls of Islamic centre in Kingstanding
- Date posted
- 14 days ago
- Description
- This is the CCTV showing a thug spraying racist graffiti on the walls of an Islamic establishment in Birmingham.
A lone figure jumped over the gates of the Jami Community and Education Centre, just off the Kingstanding Circle on Kettlehouse Road, in the early hours of Wednesday, April 1. He daubed the white walls with hateful words - including 'no-one wants you here' and 'undercover mosque'.
At the end, he stood back and proudly filmed his work on his mobile before vanishing into the darkness. It was the latest in a spate of attacks since the owners acquired the building around seven months ago.

- Mourners have paid a touching tribute to Amelia Kolpa at her funeral today - including hundreds of bikers following her funeral cortege.
Amelia was an eight-year-old girl described as 'bright, loved, and full of promise' who sadly died last month after a long and tough battle with neuroblastoma since 2020.
And her fight captured the hearts of people around the world. In February, bikers delivered 60,000 birthday cards to her home - and another 8,000 followed on her birthday on March 3rd.
